Meet Rolling Stone's Newest Breaking Artist, (Moreno Domenico Kassin) +2

May 23, 2007 12:51 PM

WHO: Well-connected Brazilian trio (singer/guitarist Moreno Veloso is the son of South American pop star Caetano Veloso) rotates the principal singer and songwriter for each album, resulting in an ever-evolving sound that marries experimental rock with Tropicalia, electronica and Bossa Nova. Their latest record, released under the name Kassin + 2, was released in March.

HEAR IT NOW: Listen to two of the band's songs now, and sample tracks from their most recent release, the electro-flecked Futurismo on their Myspace page.

"Sincerely Hot"

"Arrivederci"

WATCH IT: Pour yourself a Caipirinha, cue up our clip of the threesome performing the smooth Bossa Nova jam "Pra Lembrar" and wait for Gisele to appear.
